    This morning on my way to work in the old faithful 2011 Ibiza , I did 11 miles from home until I had to stop at traffic lights, as I came to a halt there was an almighty loud squeal/grating noise from what sounded like the front brakes.... I pulled forwards a little and it grated loud, as it did when the light changed to green as I drove away...

    It sounded like a definite "rubbing" squeal.... After about 50 yards I turned left at a bend, which changed the pitch of the noise... there was then what sounded like a "twang" and I heard something dislodge or move...

    Scared the life out of me...Lol

    Does this sound like a stone or like between the disc/caliper etc?

    Did 80 mile round trip no problems...

    I did hear a faint squeak when I turned left into the road at home..... left the car an hour and went for a short spin... all OK again...

    It did have discs/pads fitted in December, so as I am off work next week I think I may get it checked out....

    I must admit it did sound like something was stuck and catching, which stopped once I heard the "twang" as if it had shot out when I got to 25-30MPH... Was damn loud though... although it may have sounded louder inside the car than it was...

    I suppose anything more sinister would not disappear and do 80 miles OK
